I haven't seen anyone try that yet. Pinball guys usually want very specific things so a variable output like that probably isn't on their radar.

yeah, it's very much like Raku in that the results are different every time. I'm not even sure it would work on a pinball that well but next time I'm at my FIL's house I might toss one in the furnace and try it out. The key is in the quenching tho from what I understand. Still on a C. Voltaire or something it could be cool.

Would it roughen up the surface? The main value of a mirrored ball is the least amount of friction on the playfield.

I don't think so, it's an alignment change in the matrix of the top coat of metal but the surface details and smoothness of show parts are all preserved. Commonly done on rifle receivers and knives. Could be worth a shot, how much is a pinball? You ain't out much.

Old pinballs can be had free from anyone with pins. New ones are $1-2. No financial risk at all.
